I am feeling Windsor has gotten very slow, I have family next door, they are going for Oath this week.
They applied July 2017
Test Oct 2017
Oath Feb 2018
They are 4/6 applicants, with deluge of 3/5 applications, I believe it will be even slower.

Seems Windsor is slowest. Any December applicant from Windsor who got into 'In Process' so far ?
ECAS update for me on the 23rd noting they sent me a letter to appear and write test. Figured I would get it via snail mail, but today in my email it showed up. Test on March 27
Hello, noticed, today is your test... Good luck and all the best!October applicant here:
Delivered Oct. 5
AOR Nov. 1
IP Nov. 23
Test Date Feb. 27
Can you please let us know how your test and interview went?
Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you!
The test was easy, I was done in about three minutes (first one done) and scored 20/20. Just read Discover Canada a few times and you'll do fine
In the interview, the officer went over my application first then my wife's. She asked to see originals of all the photocopied documents we sent in. She asked me about where I worked, how long I had been there, and how often I went to the US offices for work because of the number of trips I had on my physical presence calculator. I kept very good records (a small notebook with the details of each exit and entry) and offered to go over it with her. She complimented us on our detailed recordkeeping and said she didn't need to see anything, as she had no concerns about my physical presence. We applied under 4 of 6, with a 7 day buffer.
They like to have a conversation with you to evaluate your fluency in English or French. My wife is a little shy, lol, and we had to prompt her to talk a little bit more
but no issues.The officer said the March oath ceremonies are probably full by now, but we may get lucky and get in the April ones possibly. Fingers crossed!
Congrats to you and your wife!Thank you!

And thank you for your insights.
Another thing, can you please let me know how much time you spent overall, including test, interview, verification of documents and waiting time. I am thinking of having a half day off from work during my test day.
Thanks!
We got there at 8:45, the test started promptly at 9:02, and we were out of there by 10:00. Pretty fast.
Also just checked ECAS, it's changed to "Decision Made" just in the past hour.
That is awesome news! Congrats again and all the best!
Thanks for answering my inquiries.
Hello guys,
So far 2 test invitations only for October applicants? It seems that Windsor is getting slower and slower. My application started processing on Jan the 25th. Any unreported test invitations from October applicants?
